Connect Zapier MCP to Claude Code

Copy the prompt

Copy the prompt below:

Install Zapier MCP for me globally.

Run this command:
  claude mcp add --transport http "Zapier-MCP" https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect

Then give me step-by-step instructions for how to restart Claude Code. After restarting, use get_zapier_skill with name "zapier:onboarding" and follow its instructions to set me up.

Paste it into Claude Code

Paste the prompt into Claude Code and follow the instructions.When prompted, authenticate with your Zapier account.

If you are running Claude Code on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), OAuth callbacks from the browser may not reach Claude Code. If authentication does not complete, run Claude Code from a native Windows or macOS terminal instead.

Verify the connection

Ask Claude Code:

What Zapier tools do you have available?

Claude Code should list the Zapier MCP tools. If tools do not appear, check Troubleshooting.

Zapier also publishes an official Claude Code plugin. If you have Anthropic’s official plugin marketplace added, run /plugin install zapier@claude-plugins-official. Otherwise, add the Zapier marketplace first with /plugin marketplace add zapier/zapier-mcp, then run /plugin install zapier@zapier-plugins.

Try it out

After setup, ask Claude Code to do something with your connected apps:

“Find my last 5 emails and summarize them”
“What meetings do I have tomorrow?”
“Create a task in [app] to follow up with [name]”
“Send a Slack message to [channel] about [topic]“
